Best Practices

There have been so many useful words, phrases and techniques that I have come across during this term.  Having to choose two practices that I determine the most beneficial is seen as almost difficult (in a good way).  Prior to enrolling with Kaplan I struggled finding who I am and what purpose I will have.  These questions brought me to Kaplan and the Health and wellness program.  It was a quest to help myself and also knowing that I wanted to help others that may feel the same way by becoming credible with my wellness degree.  This particular class is seen as a pivotal turning point that is leading me onto an entire new type of journey.  A journey that now can be made by seeing everything on the way and not just thinking exclusively on the end.  It taught me about not having an end.  We need to be in a right now frame of mind right?  Everyday needs to be a new beginning in a way?

     Meeting Asclepius has been a practice that has been one of the more useful for me.  I mentioned before, I spend a lot of time listening to Dr. Wayne Dyer and reading his books.  During not all, but most sessions, especially before work he is my image of a very wise man.  Right after indulging is his words or recorded seminars is the best way for me to implement this in my personal life having his voice and wisdom close at hand and fresh in my mind.  I feel more positive the rest of my day after doing this and revisit when I feel as if I am becoming distorted.

     The next practice I found beneficial was one we recently have done.  The taste of human flourishing and the three different qualities that are summoned I see as easy to mold together at times of need.  Depending on experiences, at a moment’s happening of either a time of great happiness, sense of wholeness or exuberant vitality can be a trigger to engage in this and implement in our personal lives.  Even if it is just one, the other two can be dug up for a great experience of the combination.

     It is nice to have choices for us to lead ourselves to these levels of a better mindset.  As our book says, We would agree that everyone, not just our loved ones, wants happiness and wishes to avoid pain and needless suffering” (Dacher, 2006).  These are two ways for me to begin to achieve this motive.
